  • Review rosters, identify trends and areas for improvement, and provide structured feedback.





  • Help services respond to changing staffing requirements and commissioned hours.





  • Provide targeted rostering support during exceptional circumstances.





  • Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste and maximise productive support hours.





  • Analyse workforce data to identify trends in agency use, overtime, vacancies, absence and staffing gaps.





  • Produce meaningful reports and workforce planning insights for senior leaders.





  • Challenge constructively, promote accountability and help remove barriers to effective workforce planning.

  • We're looking for someone who combines technical expertise with strong relationship-building skills.





  • Experience in workforce planning and rota management within a social care environment.





  • Experience using electronic rostering systems such as Sona, Log My Care, Allocate Optima, Nourish or similar platforms.





  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret workforce data and translate findings into practical actions.





  • Experience training, coaching or supporting managers and colleagues.





  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.





  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.





  • Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.





  • Understanding of how commissioned hours, workforce planning and quality care delivery interact within social care services.





  • Ability to travel across service locations as required.



Desirable




  • Experience implementing or rolling out new digital systems.





  • Knowledge of supported living, residential care, transitions or complex care services.





  • Experience in service improvement and root cause analysis.





  • Understanding of payroll processes and workforce/payroll integrations.
